More accurately, this is what you get for cross-posting to an advocacy
group.
Sheesh, a Microsoft OS actually displays some evidence of securing itself
and the Bill-bashers complain about *that*!
To "drsquare",
Do you, on your linux(?) box, grant ordinary users write access
to all those configuration scripts that control your system? If so, do you
want to post an IP address for your machine...?
To the OP,
REGEDT32 lets you set registry permissions, but there are good reasons
why only selected users can write to HKLM. It sounds like your library is
broken. If you really must open up the registry key, then only open up the
bits that you really need, and find out why the 3rd party library needs to
alter them.
To all,
I've just had to curtail the list of newsgroups because someone mangled
the long line of text. ("Duh, you mean the Newsgroups: field can be longer
than 255 characters? Gosh. Who'd have guessed.") However, since I don't know
who it was, I will refrain from flaming Microsoft. It could have been MS,
but it could also have been our linux server or something even further
upstream, like the sender. :)
